Only thing I ever needed for my old 8 3/8 M-27 pin barrel gun was a few extra ejector rods. Some how they kept getting bent. Might have had something to do with the 172 Keith bullets and copious amounts or Herco. Sticky shells and not hitting the rod square with the heel of the hand will bend them pretty quick. That was back in my early reloading days when everything was based on How Fast, not how accurate. Now I just shoot holes in stuff, not the air and my guns last a lot longer..... 
The old 27s are very nice guns. The 6 inch 27 makes a fine hunting gun. A very nice Christmas gift to you.
